STEALS $T72.000; MERGY PROMISED Boy Bank Clerk May Get New Chance if He Sur- 3 renders. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 26.—Two clues to the flight of William Dalton, sev- enteen-year-old bank clerk, who es- caped Thursday from the Northern Trust Bank with $772,000 in liberty bonds, the largest bank robbery ing Chicago's history, were being traced by police today The Northern Trust Company will urge the police to releas: ‘Ih-! :\mnh if he will return the securiti announced today by W. 5. Miller, vice sident of the institution. Prt Dalton wishes to accept this of- | fer, he should notify me at once, either at the bank or at my home.” said Mr. Miller. “I will help him to straighten out and get settled back on the right | Toad. “If he will bring back the bonds at once we will urge his release. We cannot promise that he will not be prosecuted because a decision as to that must be made by the city offi- cials, but we will do all we can to help him.” Left Auto in Street. i The youth, who Thursday night} d@rove up to a garage in Waukegan, northshore suburb of Chicago, and asked to leave his automobile all night, was identified as Dalton. He then went down the street to the Sal- vation Army Hotel and asked to be allowed to sleep there, saying he was “broke.” Search of the roads leading north | ©f Waukegan had disclosed no trace of the youth toda A young man identified as Dalton attempted to purchase an automobile Thursday from a_South Side dealer, offering liberty bonds in payment. The salesman refused to accept them. The young man’s companion gave the mame of John Oblinski, and an ad- dress which later proved to be false. Investigation of Dalton’s home life and associates threw no light on the theft, police said. Had Bonds at Lunch. His chum, Evert Dovale, a page in the same bank, said he never talked about girls, spent most of his eve- nings at a Y. M. C. A. school, and appeared to like his work at the bank. Officials of the bank declared the theft could not have been planned by Dalton or accomplices who might be influencing him, as he could not pos- bly have known that he would be given the package of liberty bonds 1o check over, and such a bond trans- action occurred only once or twice & year. The bonds, of the fourth issue, were temporary certificates, without cou- pons, and bank officials said he wrap- ped them in a brown paper and tucked them under his arm When he went out to lunch Thursday. A companion employe, who went to lunch that day with Dalton, said he noticed nothing strange in the boy's actions. After eating, he said, Dalton left him, say- ing he was going up the street.

Tracks of the Wash- ington and Old Dominion line will be used, it is proposed, from Leesburg south to Alexandria. The . line will p: west and south of Falls Church, Va., however, diverting from the tracks of the Washington and Old Dominion imme- diately south of Vienna, Va.
